How deeply does Architecting an Apache Iceberg Lakehouse cover Lightweight Directory Access Protocol?

Defines LDAP’s directory model and operational role, but stops short of protocol-level implementation details.

Lightweight Directory Access Protocol

As explained in Architecting an Apache Iceberg Lakehouse

The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol is a network protocol for accessing and managing directory information, including user identities.

Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) provides centralized access to directory services that store user identities, roles, permissions, and attributes. Its hierarchical directory model lets applications authenticate users, retrieve attributes, and support access control across internal systems. section 5.4.9

LDAP contributes to enterprise identity architecture by:

Centralizing authentication and simplifying user provisioning across applications. section 5.4.9
Enforcing centralized identity policies for multitenant storage through integrations with platforms such as Ceph. section 5.5.2
Supporting governance alongside access controls, encryption, audit logs, and identity-provider integrations. section 5.4.9
